Ways To Reduce Dry Skin Symptoms
Dry skin is a dermatological condition which has irritating symptoms like flakiness, itching, redness etc. According to Dr. Robert Smith, a dermatologist, dry skin can be caused by the products a person uses like detergents, and shower gels, sun exposure and the climate of a place. Dr Smith clarifies that the biggest cause for dry skin is due to environmental conditions.
Some people have dry skin since birth. A simple skin program has to be followed to reduce the symptoms of dry skin. According to Dr. Smith by regularly washing the face with a non allergic face wash and applying a moisturizer containing lactic acid on damp skin, will benefit a person with dry skin symptoms. Detergents used should not have dyes, perfumes and enzymes as these irritate the skin. Showers should be restricted to once a day with warm water.
